I had heard of "John Brown's Body" before and had a vague sense of what it was — the original version of "The Battle Hymn of the Republic," a song we were forced to sing in elementary school music class. But it never occurred to me to wonder where John Brown's actual body was buried until recently, when I drove past a sign about it on the way to go on a hike in the Adirondacks, to the top of Cascade Mountain.
